TRADITION &
EXPERTISE

LVMH and its Maisons are the heirs and custodians
of a long tradition of artisanal and creative skills,
some of which date back centuries. They scrupulously
safeguard and develop this cultural heritage. Perpet-
uating these professions and their traditions is vital
for LVMH s long-term future, since only very highly
skilled artisans can make our beautifully crafted
products. And this unique legacy, this expertise, is also
what we are known and respected for worldwide.
